I don't know if this is valid or not, but at least you are warned! A friend who is very responsible sent the warning to me and I believe what he says.

During the next several weeks be VERY cautious about opening or
launching any e-mails that refer to the World Trade Center or 9/11 in any way, regardless of who sent it. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL YOUR
FRIENDS AND FAMILY. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, "WTC" STANDS FOR THE
WORLD TRADE CENTER. REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT
RIGHT AWAY, THINKING ITS A STORY RELATING TO 9/11!

BIGGGG TROUBLE !!!! DO NOT OPEN "WTC Survivor" It is a virus that
will erase your whole "C" drive.. It will come to you in the form of
an E-Mail from a familiar person. I repeat, a friend sent it to me,
but called and warned me before I opened it. He was not so lucky and
now he can't even start his computer!

Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather
receive this 25 times than not at all. So, if you receive an email
called "WTC Survivor," do not open it. Delete it right away! This
virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files) from your
computer.

According to Snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/wtc.htm), the "WTC Survivor Virus" is a hoax that has been around since 2001..

Well it never hurts to be cautios anyhow, thanks Etaoin.

o and FYI I once had a virus that DID eat up my Hard Drive, and everytime i tried to save something off of the hdd, it ate it up some more.

So there are viruses that can and will eat up your hard drives.

(And i dunno how i got it either cuz i wasnt getting the spam I am getting nowadays at all)

Whether or not the WTC virus is a hoax, there definitely are millions of chickenshit pimplebutts out there who get their rocks off through the sending of virused e-mail. The dumbf*cks don't have the spine to associate with members of the human race, so these cowards' social lives center on the annoyance of people who can tear them new assholes in an actual confrontation.
